Bad touch and go...

DHAKA, (May 9, 2024) — A Bangladeshi Air Force pilot was killed and another was critically injured when a fighter jet training aircraft crashed Thursday in southeastern Chattogram, according to police.

After flying above the Patenga Navy Boat Club, the plane crashed in Patenga, an area near the Bay of Bengal, Patenga police station officer-in-charge Kabirul Islam told Anadolu.

The other pilot is now in better health, he said, adding that the aircraft has not yet been rescued.

The jet suddenly caught fire and crashed. The pilots ejected from the plane. Later, they were rescued and rushed to hospitals, said police.

Showboating Fighter Pilot Dies After Botched Roll

Bangladeshi Air Force Squadron Leader Muhammed Asim Jawad died and his backseater, his boss Wing Commander Sohan Hasan Khan is in critical condition after the aircraft lost altitude during a series of aileron rolls and skipped off the side of the runway. After completing three rolls, the Yak-130 pancaked onto the runway at Chattogram Air Force Base and slid off the side before Jawad, 32, hauled the fighter back into the air.
Official reports from the Bangladeshi government portrayed the pilots as heroes and said the plane suffered mechanical problems before they turned it away from populated areas before ejecting. But surveillance video obtained by the Independent showed the stunting. Cell phone video showed the plane’s rear fuselage engulfed in flames before it pitched forward the crew ejected and parachuted into a river. They were rescued and taken to a hospital where Jawad later died.
